If you want a Welsh map tip, have a look at a map compairing train lines in Wales before and after the Beeching cuts. Genuinly enraging!

I'd certainly like to hear loud critisism of this from @plaidcymru.bsky.social if we meant what we said in the '24 manifesto.

I wonder if you could get a box at Bayreuth for 'security reasons'?

In Zagreb, and a few other places, they’re basically pronounced the same; with a sound sort of half way between the two.

Maybe one day I’ll manage to reliably enunciate the difference, but for now this is my little refuge.

If @plaidcymru.bsky.social are serious about building a fairer Wales, then certainly when it comes to trans rights, Thorn’s axiom ‘if someone wants to transition, that’s their business’ must be at the heart of policy.

I always find that Brahms, quite probably through his experience with Clara Schumann, just seems to ‘get it’ for me.

Particularly the 3rd piano quartet. He just seems to find a way to really pull you through a train of thought and experience, all the highs and lows, and make you feel unalone.

Love the Kavakos Ysaÿe, excellent choice!
